dear expectant mother
We are struggling to find the right words.It’s so emotional and hard to express knowing how difficult this must be for you. We admire your strength and bravery to consider adoption. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us as you consider an adoption plan for your precious child. We would truly be honored to be considered as parents for your baby. We are excited to share our love of photographic art, culinary experiences, and much more with your child. We are fully committed to loving and providing a nurturing, stable, safe home for your baby with lots of opportunities. We want you to be able to say for sure that we love your child as much as you do.
We are open to hearing more about your culture so we can better help your child to understand their background, allowing the opportunity to discover their identity. We owe it not just to you but to your child to always protect them, which is more important to us.
The luckiest thing for us is discovering there are more lives touched by adoption than we had previously realized. We’ve spent our days researching and learning about support groups for birthmothers and adoptive parents. This has opened our eyes and hearts to so many of the wonderful and challenging aspects of adoption. We are taking advantage of every resource possible so we can continue to learn, grow, and become the best parents to your child and give your angel the best life possible.
About Us
Hi, this is Curtis and Khalilah. We are happy to tell you about us and the life we enjoy together. Curtis enjoys listening to music, soccer, and table tennis. He took business classes in school and discovered this is his career path; he has been working in the field since then. He enjoys activities in graphic design, which is now his own business. Curtis is very responsible, full of humor, family oriented, outspoken, and industrious and has a huge heart. Khalilah enjoys listening to music and loves cooking and baking with the family. Her future goal is to pursue her career in nursing, and she is a few steps away. She has a passion for traveling the world and was a teacher. She embodies strength, patience, and a beautiful heart. We love traveling as a family with our two children to see the beauty in life! We love to laugh, be in nature, and appreciate the little things.
Our Home
We live in a split-level home located in an established, peaceful neighborhood in Connecticut. We purchased our home specifically because we wanted a larger home with space for a growing family. We are approximately nine minutes from the city, which is full of great places to take children. There are numerous educational, medical, cultural, and recreational opportunities located in our community and the town. There is a community park a short walk from our home. We own a family vacation home in Florida, just a short drive to Disney and other tourist attractions.
Our Extended Family
Curtis’s family lives just about an hour away from us. His brother, aunts, nephews, etc, are mostly located in the same neighborhood. We come together as a family to celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving. Each year we have special birthday celebrations for each member of the family and also travel back to our home country (Jamaica) to spend time with extended family.
We love being in the kitchen together, eating and playing games with the kids. We have a blast going to Disney as a family since we own a home nearby. If you ever catch us at home, you’d likely find us having fun. We love, love, love to have fun.
Khalilah loves to see how protective Curtis is to his little niece and nephews. His interaction with them is so gentle and tender. Curtis is a perfect blend of strength and gentleness. Curtis loves the love that Khalilah has for our family. It brings him such peace and joy knowing that one day we will have the opportunity to be blessed with an extraordinary mother who will consider us to raise her child.
What Led Us To Adoption
We have been hoping to extend our family ever since we got married in 2018. We did not conceive after six months and decided to see a fertility specialist. We became pregnant but had two miscarriages. This was a very emotional and difficult experience for us. We took time to process our feelings and decide on our next steps. The decision to grow our family through adoption was perfect! Having a baby together was one similar goal we shared with each other at the start of conversations of a growing family. Shakeira and Curtis Jr cannot wait to have a little sister! They are beyond excited! When our social worker came for our home visit, they both wanted to know how soon the baby would be home.

Choose a Family for
Your Baby With Confidence
As you browse our list of hopeful adoptive parents, you can feel confident in knowing that all of the adoptive families working with Angel Adoption are prepared to offer your baby a safe, stable, and loving environment along with a wealth of opportunities for a happy and fulfilling life.
Each adoptive parent has been thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. A completed home study means the family is emotionally, physically, and financially ready to adopt a baby.
The home study process includes assessments of each parent’s character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. In addition, a social worker will inspect the family’s home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Furthermore, Angel Adoption requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family. We go to great lengths to make sure all the families you have to choose from are going to be excellent parents for your baby!
